How do Young People feel About the Health Care Bill?

How do young people feel about it?

We’ve been hearing adults in an uproar about the Obama Health Care Bill. What what is it really and what does it promise for our future? And the big question is, does our generation really care? There were a lot of young people campaigning on Obama’s behalf during the election, but we need to take time to think about the polices he is planning to put into action. Here is a YouTube video of the Obama health care speech, and below is the proposed plan from the White House website:

Ok so basically in this address, to a joint session of Congress, President Obama explained how health insurance reform will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, coverage for those who don’t, and will lower the cost of health care for our families, our businesses, and our government. Here is a break down from www.whitehouse.gov on how the health care plan will seemingly help:

The Administration believes that comprehensive health reform should:

Reduce long-term growth of health care costs for businesses and government

Protect families from bankruptcy or debt because of health care costs

Guarantee choice of doctors and health plans

Invest in prevention and wellness

Improve patient safety and quality of care

Assure affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans

Maintain coverage when you change or lose your job

End barriers to coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions

This act hits home for people like me who have chronic diseases that could really use a relief from paying the high costs of health care. But most young people in our community don’t really have to worry about being unhealthy. And only to be fair, we will list some of the cons of the health care bill.

The elite of our country could be exposed to better care

Government ran facilities could make care & medicines come slower

More money from the tax payer’s pocket

Less money flows to privately owned facilities which help stimulate the economy

More Dependency on the government

Doctor’s and health officials could lose profits
